    workqueue: separate iteration role from worker_idr · da028469

    worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and
    worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We
    can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and
    iteration.
    
    Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to
    worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically
    because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer
    can't depend on.
    
    After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for
    iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach
    the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch.
